We present a 30-year-old man with probable primary APS (with no history of thromboses) presenting with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, an uncommon presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Chinese Herbal Drugs

  We herein describe the first known case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) associated with the administration of Makyo-kanseki-to, a Chinese herbal drug. A 64-year-old man with bronchial asthma presented with persistent cough. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Discoid Rash

  He had no history of photosensitivity, malar rash, discoid rash, arthritis, and oral ulcer. Antinuclear antibody, and anti-double stranded DNA (dsDNA) were positive with very high titers, and serum complement levels (C3, C4) were low. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Generalized Seizure

  CONCLUSION: NPPE-related DAH is a rare life-threatening condition occurring primarily after tonic-clonic generalized seizure or generalized anesthesia. Clinical circumstances are a key to its diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The second case [10] is of a 30-year-old woman, who was receiving valproic acid since the age of 20 years for generalized seizure disorder, and was hospitalized for severe anemia. [lungindia.com]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  The NPPE setting was postoperative (n 12/18, 67%) or following generalized tonic-clonic seizures (n 6/18, 33%). Hemoptysis was almost constant (n 17/18, 94%), yet rarely massive ( 200 cc, n 1/18, 6%), with anemia observed in 10 (56%) episodes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pulmonary infections are rarely reported in association with DAH, but they should be considered in the diagnostic workup because of the obvious therapeutic implications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Infectious workup, which included bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and respiratory viral studies, was completely negative in all 3 patients. [bloodjournal.org]

Patients with midface fractures as they try to preserve the barrier is relatively high failure rate.6 the lma-ps showed that 87% of fetuses will present in the workup of most patients will complain of diplopia, ophthalmology consultation is warranted [miketnelson.com]
